Dining at Walt Disney World
Disney With Little Ones: Should I Buy the Dining Plan? (Part 1)
I started planning our recent Walt Disney World vacation on a mission to spend as little money as possible, convinced I could prove that families on a budget can afford a well-planned trip. I scheduled my time off from work to span two full weekends in order to allow for drive time. My husband declined this option – he was adamant about flying and I couldn’t argue that it’s so much quicker and less exhausting. That added about $1,000 to the budget automatically. We stayed 9 nights at Pop Century Resort, one of Disney’s value resorts, and skipped the park hopper on our 7 day park passes. Everything was carefully considered, including my decision to opt out of the dining plan. Read more

Special Dining Needs at Disney: Welcome Home for Breakfast at Olivia’s Old Key West
Breakfast has never been a favorite meal of mine, but for some reason when I’m at Disney it’s something I just can’t seem to miss out on. As long as I can remember I’ve been having breakfast at Olivia’s at Old Key West Resort whenever I’ve been down in Disney. Even on our upcoming honeymoon I’ve made reservations for breakfast on our last day, as to not break the tradition. Read more
Terrific Tuesday: Disney’s Earl of Sandwich
The last time my son and I were in Walt Disney World, we stopped at Downtown Disney on the way out of town. The plan was to find something to eat, grab a few pics and then head out. Seeing Earl of Sandwich we realized they had breakfast – it had been so long since we last visited Disney that Earl of Sandwich wasn’t there the previous trip. This was a very pleasant surprise! Breakfast was great, coffee was awesome and prices were reasonable! We definitely will put this into our plans for our next trip in November. Read more
